Flat Top Mountain







Here are some photos from the hike to the top of Flat Top Mountain this week. We went with a group of people from Lindsay's Bible study and they were all awesome people. One brought her son, a 4 year old little boy! It may have been a bit much for such a little guy and he got pretty exhausted and mad along the way to the point where he kept yelling at the top of his lungs, "This isn't flat top, this is DUMB TOP!" It was pretty hilarious! You can see that he wouldn't even look at the camera for pics because he was so upset!
Once we got to the top, I was standing on a big boulder and decided to jump across to a pile of big rocks, well I jumped onto an unstable part that fell out from under me so I landed on my knee right on the rocks! I was pretty glad no one saw, but it hurt some kinda bad! I was able to walk it off and ice it that night and it hasn't given me much trouble so I think I'm good. At least I landed on my already bad knee!

If you ever come to Anchorage, you must do this hike, you can see the whole city and the ocean as in the photo behind me there. The day started out rainy, cloudy and cold in the morning and ended up being absolutely perfect for our hike. We didn't start the hike till about 7 pm and were finished around 10:30, so you can again see how bright it still is at that late hour.

This picture is especially for Morgan: When I first saw this guy from behind, I thought he had a furry jacket collar...nope it was a pomeranian...everyone needs one to go around their neck when hiking!
Love, Rachel :)
